Crushed and de-stemmed grapes are transferred into steel fermentation vats, macera- ted and fermented for 4-6 days at controlled temperatures with frequent pumping. After the alcoholic fermentation process is completed the malolactic fermentation begins. The wine is then aged for only a few months in steel tanks until it is ready for bottling

Flavour
This wine possesses notes of the usual dark berry fruits synonymous with Dolcetto such as cherry and blackberry, but its character deepens with the old mountain valley’s grounds providing an introduction of rich plums leaving a fantastic finish of almonds upon the palate
